Britain and Dubai are unusually close-knit — tens of thousands of Brits live in the UAE, and just as many have friends and family who've made the move. Flowers are one of the simplest ways to close that gap. But there are a couple of things worth knowing before you order from the UK.
Watch the different Mother's Days
This catches a lot of people out. The UK celebrates Mothering Sunday in March, while much of the world marks Mother's Day in May — and the Arab world, including the UAE, on 21 March. If you're sending to a British mum in Dubai, she'll likely expect the UK date, so keep to that and order early, as it's a peak day. Browse our Mother's Day flowers.
The time difference works for you
Dubai runs three hours ahead of the UK in summer and four in winter. A bouquet ordered over morning coffee in London can still arrive the same afternoon in Dubai. Order by 10 PM Dubai time and we deliver within 3 hours — so you can aim at a specific moment rather than a whole day.
What British senders tend to choose
Classic red roses for anniversaries and Valentine's, cheerful mixed bouquets for birthdays, and elegant lilies or orchids for a new arrival or a thank-you. Marking a very British occasion — a christening, a retirement? Just tell us and we'll suit the arrangement to it. The full selection sits on the Send Flowers to Dubai from the UK collection.
Ordering and paying from Britain
Order online in minutes with multi-currency checkout to pay in pounds, or send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll sort it. Delivery is free over AED 200, prices start from AED 7, and a message card is included. Please note we do not offer cash on delivery.
